The Kennedy Center Spaceman and Other News

We wanted to share some pretty exciting updates with you!   

Brendan and his team just installed an epic 22-foot Boonji Spaceman at the Kennedy Center in Washington, D.C.  The sculpture tilted A Step Forward, is part of The Kennedy Center’s visionary Earth to Space Festival. After that, the piece will live in Canada in a private collection of a Montreal-based entrepreneur who purchased the piece.  

Brendan was interviewed by Fox 5 news where he discussed the monumental sculpture and said it invites visitors into an introspective journey—symbolizing courage, evolution and the human desire to explore the unknown. 

“I will always push myself creatively and am a big believer in trying new things,” said Brendan Murphy. “At the end of the day, life is liquid. We must keep evolving and feel brave enough to take a big leap, even if we are terrified"

New Golfers and Loolee Bears 

The "Swing" Golfer sculptures have been extremely popular and have sold out at the recent Palm Beach Modern + Contemporary fair. They are available in 48”, 28” and the small 18” collectible size. 

The Loolee Bears have also been a big hit and come in fun colors like pink, blue and red/blue gradient.

Show in Perth and Another Big Install 

Brendan is putting up another 22-foot spaceman in Australia this spring in collaboration with the city of Perth council and Gullotti Galleries. A solo show is scheduled for May where Brendan will show his much loved pieces like the big Loolee Bear along with newer poses like the Sitting Spaceman. Brendan is very excited to bring his work to this continent. 

Stay tuned for more updates on the big spaceman install in Perth!
